I'm surprised they lasted.....it is a known weakness that resulted in a redesign/update. Unfortunately the redesign is not backwards compatible as it requires a different shaft. When the rear half of my driveshaft was replaced, I got the updated bearing for that part..my front shaft is still the old design.

Either way....be glad you didn't need a new shaft, it could put a guy out of business.

Showing dispatchers a little respect for the job they do, putting up with us grumps out here, goes a long way in a good business arrangement...everyone likes to know they are appreciated...I've listened to the crap they hear from some drivers WE are NOT too nice...

You act like a lot of them don't do this to drivers.

I have had them hang up on me when I was asking questions, I had them yell at me because I was transfered to the wrong person and I had them lie to me a lot. They do not have that hard of a job compared to what we do, they make it hard sometimes because they never did anything else in life, let along drive a truck.

I think there should be more truck drivers dispatching in this business but alas the companies don't care.

But not to discount appreciation, I do appreciate the good ones a lot.

Some of them especially the new ones have their head up their butt for sure...after management gets thru with them it is up to us to retrain them! *L*

I've had them out and out lie as well....they've hung up on me and I've also hung up on them when they get silly...

I can't stand stupid and when they get to that point it is like "clink"
